On the 30th day of July 2025, came the Defendant, Malik Breckenridge, in person and by 
counsel, John J. Balenovich, and also came the United States by Amy L. McLaughlin, Assistant 
United States Attorney, for hearing on the Petition for Warrant or Summons for Offender Under 
Supervision (Document 69) submitted by the Defendant’s supervising probation officer.  United 
States Probation Officer Codie P. Blankenship was also present at the hearing. 
During the hearing, the Court found that the Defendant had received written notice of the 
alleged violations as contained in the Petition, and that the evidence against the Defendant had 
been disclosed.  The Court further found that the Defendant appeared, was given the opportunity 
to present evidence, and was represented in the proceeding by counsel.   
Thereupon, the Defendant advised that he admitted the allegations contained in the 
Petition.  Based upon the information contained in the Petition and the Defendant’s admission

that he committed the conduct contained therein, the Court found, by a preponderance of the 
evidence, that the Defendant violated certain conditions of his probation; specifically: 
1. 
Violation of Special Condition Number Two: The Defendant shall pay restitution 
in the amount of $41,666 during his term of probation through monthly installments 
of $200 each, with the first payment being due within thirty days of the entry of this 
order and continuing until paid in full. Payments shall be paid to the Clerk of the 
Court at the following address: United States District Clerk’s Office, Robert C. 
Byrd Federal Building, United States Courthouse, 300 Virginia Street, East, 
Charleston, West Virginia 25301; and 
 
2. 
Violation of Modified Condition: The Defendant shall submit to random urinalysis 
or any drug screening method whenever the same is deemed appropriate by the 
probation officer and shall participate in a substance abuse program as directed by 
the probation officer. The Defendant shall not use any method or device to evade a 
drug screen. 
  
Having found the Defendant to be in violation of the conditions of probation, the Court 
ORDERED that the Defendant’s probation be REVOKED and, for the reasons more fully stated 
on the record, entered judgment as follows: 
It is the JUDGMENT of the Court that the Defendant be committed to the custody of the 
Federal Bureau of Prisons for a term of SIX (6) MONTHS.  The Court RECOMMENDS to the 
Bureau of Prisons that the Defendant: 1) be placed in any drug treatment programs for which he is 
eligible; and 2) be placed in a facility as close as possible to his home in West Virginia.  Upon 
release from prison, the Defendant shall be placed on supervised release for a term of TWENTY-
FOUR (24) MONTHS.  Within seventy-two (72) hours of release from custody, the Defendant 
shall report in person to the United States Probation Office in the district to which the Defendant 
is released.  While on supervised release, the Defendant must not commit another federal, state, 
or local crime, must not possess a firearm or other dangerous device, and must not unlawfully 
possess a controlled substance.  The Defendant must also comply with the standard terms and

conditions of supervised release as recommended by the United States Sentencing Commission 
and as adopted by the United States District Court for the Southern District of West Virginia, 
including the special condition that the Defendant shall participate in a program of testing, 
counseling, and treatment for drug and alcohol abuse as directed by the probation officer, until 
such time as the Defendant is released from the program by the probation officer.   The Court 
further ORDERS that the Defendant submit to one drug test within 15 days of release and at least 
two periodic drug tests thereafter as a condition of supervised release.  Additionally, it is 
ORDERED that all previously imposed conditions of probation are REIMPOSED as special 
conditions of supervised release including, but not limited to, the requirement to pay restitution. 
The Defendant was remanded to the custody of the United States Marshal. 
The Court DIRECTS the Clerk to send a copy of this Order to the Defendant and counsel, 
to the United States Attorney, to the United States Probation Office, and to the Office of the United 
States Marshal.
